The above and other objects and features f the invention, including various novel and esirable details of construction, will be aparent from the following description of the ,lustrative embodiments shown in the acompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of one form of aoe;

Figure 2 is a partial inside elevation, lookig in the direction of the arrows 22 of igure 1, and showing one of the friction lements;

Figure 3 is a section through the shoe 0 ac line 33 of Figure 2;

Figure 4 is an end elevation, looking in lie direction of the arrows l4 of Figure and showing the cam plate;

Figure 5 is a perspective of a stamped steel 1m plate;

Figure 6 is a partial side elevation showing diiferent form of friction element;

Figure 7 is an inside elevation, looking rom the right in Figure 6;

Figure 8 is an inside elevation of a modified me having only one web; and

Figure 9 is a section through the modified ice on the line 99 of Figure 8.
